All over the world, millions of young boys and girls are unable
to get proper education. In countries like India, Nepal, Colombia
and various parts of Africa, girls are often married off and boys
are forced to work on the streets to earn a living for their
family. Resources like clean water, food and shelter are perhaps

neighbourhoods of Cité Plus and Village de Dieu in Port au Prince

Violence against children is everywhere. But people turn a blind
eye. It’s hidden behind closed doors. It’s invisible.
